I Can Dig it Review by Joe

Quality

Price

Value

I've had my OWB holster for over a year now and I have no complaints. The spacers are great for customizing the tension to your liking. I keep mine on an AHT 1.5in belt as part of my duty style set up for instructing. With the leather loops with the smallest spacers as tight as they can go and it does not move on the belt at all.

The majority of complaints I've seen for this product have to do with retention and stability. If you spend a little time tweaking it, it should work well. But if you're looking for something to lock in place while you're running, jumping or rolling, this isn't the holster for you. (Posted on 11/28/2016)

The holster came in the day after Thanksgiving and I wore it everyday with a Walther PPX 40. The holster fit great and at times I forgot that I Was Wearing it. The holster fits tight to the body and is concealed With just a Tshirt. I'm glad I bought the holster. Good quality and it is tough because I actually caught it on the door jam sliding into the car with no damage to the holster. (Posted on 11/28/2016)

Better Options for OWB Review by MTMedic

Quality

Price

Value

First off, I love the AG IWB holsters and use them for EDC and trust them 100% as they have never failed. The OWB I ordered earlier this year in my opinion is not par for the company. The leather loops allow my Glock to pull away from my body way to far and therefor doesn't feel secure and moves around. My belt is a extremely firm 5.11 belt and not some soft pliable POS. Retention for the firearm itself is great. Im gonna try the new MOD OWB to hopefully see improvement. (Posted on 10/16/2016)

I bought this because I heard good things about their holsters. I don't like this one at all. The way it's designed, putting a pistol in it can be a pain. i recommend trying a different one (Posted on 10/15/2016)

I've had the cloak side OWB for an XDs for the last 5 weeks and couldn't be happier with the product. I have too many expensive holsters that don't give the support that this one does. Just ordered a shell for my 3" Colt, I'm sure it will support that little chunky fire breather just fine. Thanks guys (Posted on 10/14/2016)

Good quality holster Review by Dan G

I got this holster with the IWB 3.0 in the buy 2 holsters deal, I ended up also getting the OWB Mod holster. I carry left handed so this holster is a little harder to get on and off quickly that's the reason I also got the Mod so I don't have to undo my belt to put on and remove the holster. This is a nice set up and keeps the gun close to the body but you have to undo your belt to put it on or off. I would wear this one more if it could be worn on the right side as a cross draw, maybe that's something that will come out in the future for left handed shooters. Very pleased with all 3 of my holsters, all are of very good quality and all arrived within 3 days of ordering. (Posted on 9/2/2016)

This a great holster. I was surprised at the quality and comfort. Best OWB holster I have used. I bought the combo with the IWB 3.0. I carry concealed but got this holster to use when out shooting. It fits my Taurus PT111 G2 perfectly. Nice job Alien Gear (Posted on 8/3/2016)

Have a clock tuck 3.0, best IWB I have ever used. My G19 disappears, weight distribution is great, retention is some of the best I've used. Just ordered a Clock Slide can can't wait to put it to use.

i bought the cloak slide for my Springfield xd mod 2 subcompact and it has worked well. the only issue with this holster is that the leather on the back does not give as much retention as i would like. even with the tightest mounting kit possible. but other than that it is very comfortable.

I got the two holster combo for G19 and a Shield. Both fit perfectly. I have used both shells on both the OSB and ISB and they interchange easily. I did have one screw fall out of the OSB the first day I wore it (In the future I will check before using). Luckily I found it, but if I hadn't, it would not have been a problem due to the very complete spare parts kit supplied with the holster. I received my order much sooner than promised when I placed it. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. (Posted on 7/16/2016)

Made like a Rock as usual... I just wish that my S&W 638 sat slightly lower in the shell OR that I could adjust the Cant - or BOTH. (Posted on 7/13/2016)

Just buy something else Review by Shaun

Quality

I want to start by saying I really like my cloak tuck 3.0. Also have several shells that I swap in and out and have been very happy with alien gear products. However the cloak slide I received was very poorly built. First thing I noticed was one of the leather belt loops was far too soft, the weight of my pistol was able to tilt the holster away from my body affair amount due to the give in the belt loop. Secondly the craftsmanship was not great. I didn't expect a work of art but the rivets were made within a 1/16 of an inch of the edge of the leather in some spots. Looks slapped together with all the attention to detail and alignment of a typical fast food cheeseburger. My advice, spend the extra $15 for the new MOD or something else entirely, Lastly I want to add that I have been extremely happy with my other alien gear products, great company and great service, I'm sure had I called to complain they would have refunded the holster, I chose to reinforce it myself and it works fine. Good retention, love the interchangeable shells, and the free shell swaps has really paid off. (Posted on 7/13/2016)

Just ordered the IWB/OWB combo for my new Glock 43 and can't wait to get it! I've been reading through the reviews with a big smile on my face because they are all exactly right!! AG has the best, most comfortable holster I've ever used (both IWB and OWB), the nicest most helpful customer service, and a no questions asked warranty (called about a replacement belt loop for my cloak slide and they sent me a whole new holster base!). I've ordered 7 holsters from this amazing company and recommend them to anyone I can! Thank you Alien Gear for making a fantastic product that you stand behind 100%, and for being one of the few companies left that put the customer first!! Keep up the great work!!

Perfect OWB Holster for CZ Review by David T.

I received my Alien Gear Cloak Slide OWB Holster yesterday which I had ordered for my CZ 75B Omega - Wow. I am impressed - not only with the quality of this holster, but also the great customer service of the Alien Gear support team and the speedy delivery. I barely feel the weight of my full size CZ wearing this and its extremely comfortable. Before I decided on this brand and model, I researched (ad nauseum) many highly recommended and, I'm sure, well made, OWB holsters, which were all more expensive than the Cloak Slide. I am happy I made this decision and am now a huge fan (and customer) of Alien Gear. Thanks to all at Alien Gear for a great product and great service! (Posted on 11/17/2015)

Bought this for my XDs 4.0, and I'm really glad I did. I'm 5'9" and weigh in at a whopping 135 lbs. and my gun disappears under even a t-shirt.

i received my holster in much less time than expected which was a plus , as soon as i received it i tried on and it was as comfortable as if i was wearing it for years , very secure, didnt wiggle on my belt, i like most of gun owners have a drawer full of holsters from the least inexpensive to the most expensive, but this one is at the top of my list and is made in America.

I absolutely love this Holster. I wear it everyday tight against my body and rides nice and high. I used to only carry my smaller framed guns (Shield, xds45, etc) now all I carry is my full size M&P 357sig and I forget that I'm wearing it. I wear this Holster with a tee shirt and shorts with zero problems.

Alien Gears customer service is top notch. Yes you might have to wait a bit to receive your stuff, but it's worth it, Everything is made to order, plus you can't beat the price

I ordered one of these for me loved it, decided to order my father in-law one too.

I have been wearing this Holster every day with my full size M&P 40 and I have to say best Holster ever for owb. I was using expensive paddle holsters that stick out way to far making them completely impractical for concealing a full size gun.
This Holster is tight against your body allowing you to carry a larger gun. I wear this with shorts and a tee shirt and it's perfectly concealed. I'm about to purchase another one for my father in law. (Posted on 8/25/2014)

Wow! What a great holster! Fit is excellent, break in time was nil and it is very comfortable.I ordered one for the S&W J-Frame Revolver and I carry my M&P .38-.357 in it and it's like wearing nothing,it is so comfortable at the 3:00 position that you almost forget it's there and as the review above states it is lightning fast to draw from.The gun seems like it pops into your hand.I had to tighten mine down a bit as it was just a tad too loose for my taste after wearing it a few days but what a great fit this holster provides.Great product and I will be ordering more in the future.
